John W. Lawson Sr. announces his candidacy for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 2 Brown County, Texas in the March 4th Republican Party Primary.
I was born and raised in Brown County Texas and have lived most of my life in the county. My wife, Debbie, and I are members of Heart of Texas Cowboy Church near Brookesmith, Texas where I serve as Lay Pastor and Chaplain. I also play bass in our little band.
I will devote myself to being a full time justice with no outside professional obligations.
I graduated Salutatorian with an AAS in Electronics in 1986 in Farmers Branch Texas; I was also certified by ISCET (International Society of Certified Electronics Technicians) prior to my graduation.
I worked for a local communications company for a total of about 17 years working with 2-way radios, cell phones and pagers. Most recently I worked on the cellular side of the business installing and maintaining the cellular tower sites.
I am a “HAM” radio operator and have been involved in SKYWARN (weather watchers) and ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services); a system of public service for the purpose of early warning and emergency communications during severe weather or disaster situations. I also attended the first Citizens Police Academy in Brownwood. I currently serve as the ADEC (Assistant District Emergency Coordinator) for ARES District 2 North Texas consisting of 10 counties.
I am a member of the local Brown County C.E.R.T.(Community Emergency Response Team), a Red Cross volunteer, and a Brownwood/Brown County Public Health Volunteer. I am also an endowed member of both Indian Creek and Bangs Masonic Lodges (PM of both).
I will serve as an honest and fair justice giving respect to ALL Brown County residents. I am a qualified leader who will be respectful, diligent and compassionate!
I ask for your vote during the early voting period Feb 18th – 28th or on Tuesday, March 4th Election Day!
